Two comments:
1) I always associated plaque with dental problems, not
Alzheimer's. Is the Alzheimer's reference about the same as
the dental one?
2) Another term I've used for the problems induced by the OOP
paradigm is "ravioli code". This refers to the fact that
you've got all these "things" lying around, active all the
time, loosely connected, but all clamoring for attention at
the same time. And, in order to track down what is
happening, you often have to look in lots of different
places.
I'm getting hungry. Need some Chef Boyardee...
